U.S. Army Map Reading and Land Navigation Handbook ReviewThere are many misconceptions and misstatements in the other reviews so I thought I would try and clarify a few things.
First, this book is not the current Army FM 3-25.26 Land Navigation manual. It is a reprint of an older FM. If you want the Army FM just do a search here in Amazon for FM 3-25.26 and it will take you to the Army publication which goes for around $16. Any problems with print clarity is the fault of this manufacturers printing not the US Army. Go to FM 3-26.26 and you will see the difference.
Second, these book were written for people/soldiers whose very lives will depend on the their ability to navigate any where on Planet Earth. If you're looking for an easy to read and do, mind numbing eco course forget it. This book and it's results are for those who want to be professionals. If they get it wrong, people drop bombs and rockets on them. If you're not interested in a professional approach don't buy it (forget all about putting Fred in the Shed to navigate).
Third, this book is written for those who will navigate in the jungle, snow fields, deserts, mountains, etc. The process is taught and accepted worldwide by all of the major countries and is approved by NATO. Special Forces, Navy SEALS, Marine RECON, Delta Force, etc all use the same basic system. It is a lot of work but it is effective. The writing is step by step and provides the background information professionals will need to know. If you are a hardcore orienteerer or geocacher, search and rescue volounteer, Scout volounteer, etc this is the book for you.
Last, don't waste your money on this reprint. Buy the US Army manual so you'll have the latest and correct information.
Oh, yeah, one other thing. Throw the crackerjack compass away. Get yourself a good compass (yes, it will cost more than $20). This manual tells you what to look for. Personally, I have three compasses - a Silva Ranger, Brunton Surveyor and a US Army Lensatic Compass. I NEVER go cross country with out at least two of them ON me.U.S. Army Map Reading and Land Navigation Handbook Overview

Inventing the Charles River ReviewThis extraordinary book brings together a confluence of compelling themes: The history of a city and its self concept; the evolution of city planning and the politics of public space; visionary thinking and the implications of decisions on the future of urban living; and the visual record of 19th century Boston through historical photographs and maps. These ideas have been woven into a highly readable book, stunningly designed by Yasuyo Iguchi. For anyone who lives in or has lived in Boston, this book is the best history of the city's evolution. For others who may not be as compelled by the specific story of how the Charles River came to be or the significance of the Big Dig, this book is a fascinating and provocative exploration of the implications that face all cities as they envision themselves into the future. How should public space be used? Who decides what is the public good? Haglund cares passionately about these issues and has assembled a thoughtful, readable and provocative response to these important questions. Don't miss it.Inventing the Charles River Overview
